📰 News we're reading

• How Airbnb is fighting for its place on California's coast (calmatters.org) — Pacifica's long-debated rules on short-term rentals are being reshaped after heavy lobbying and legal pressure linked to Airbnb, with state coastal regulators weakening key limits on unhosted stays. For residents, that means more vacation rentals can operate longer in coastal neighborhoods, even as many locals complain about noise, housing loss, and corporate-owned properties changing the character of their streets.
